    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

    Contest! Win Hard Reset!

    Bump

    No one wants Hard Reset? I'm open to other suggestions for contest ideas.

    maybe i got this in the wrong section... could a mod move it to the FS/FT/WTB/Giveaway section?

    How often should I hard reset a device?

    My WP7 wont hard reset!

    Hello,

    At first guess I would say that there is a hardware level issue with your phone. If a hard reset using the "button combo" method doesn't work, then my suggestion is to contact the carrier and/or manufacturer to see about getting warranty support for the
    device -

    Here is how you do a Hard Reset (Note: this will format the phone and reset it to factory)

    • 1) Turn off the phone.
    • 2) Turn on the phone, holding the Power + Volume DOWN + Camera buttons
    • 3) Hit home button (Start) twice to begin.
    In Peace and Agape,

    Trav...
